What Makes Oneonta, New York Different
Oneonta sits in the upper Susquehanna River valley, with hills rising on both sides of town. Snowmelt and heavy rain run off those hills into creeks and the river, and low streets and basements can flood. The June 2006 flood hit many towns in this part of the Susquehanna valley hard. River and creek water that enters a home is always contaminated, so wet drywall, carpet and insulation should come out.
Winters are long and cold, with heavy snow and frequent freezes. Ice dams form along the eaves when warm attics melt the snow, and water backs up under shingles into walls and ceilings. Pipes in outside walls, porches and old stone foundations can freeze on the coldest nights. Keep attics cold and well vented, and keep the heat at 55 degrees or higher when you travel.
Much of the housing is old, including large frame houses near downtown that now serve as student rentals for the two colleges. Old basements with fieldstone walls let water seep in every spring, and damp basements grow mold on stored boxes and wood. A dehumidifier and a sump pump help, and test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition in these older homes.

Checking a License in Oneonta
New York State requires a licensed mold assessor and a separate licensed mold remediator for mold jobs over 10 square feet, and the same company cannot do both on one job. Ask for both license numbers and look them up with the state before you sign. Asbestos work in New York must be done by a state licensed asbestos contractor with certified workers.
New York has no statewide license for general contractors, so check with your city, town or county about any local license and the permits the job needs. Ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance, whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and for older homes, whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
